This is in my backyard?

This past Monday the Business Development and Community Connection team (which I am a part of it) all went to a welcome lunch for our newest and last member Jessica. Our station isn’t far from North Hills so we like to go there a lot for lunch, this time we decided on Vivace! I hate to admit it but I have been there once before (another welcome lunch for new team members) and I didn’t really like what I got, I believe it was the agnolotti so I was a little hesitant when we decided that’s where we were going. Much to my delight though this time the food was amazing, and not just mine, I tried a couple of my coworkers dishes as well!

 This time I got a seasonal insalata with Salmon, cherry tomatoes, Pomegranate, a good cheese I had never tried before, nuts, and a delicious balsamic vinaigrette. The way all the flavors came together was delicious. I also tried Courtney’s Pizza which was a smoked chicken pizza with pesto and artichoke which was also very good. Maryann and Candace got the pizza as well and liked their’s as well. It wasn’t really heavy and greasy like most pizzas are which was a refreshing change. I also tried Doug’s dish which was a scallop risotto which was also very good. Ashley Sue and Jessica had the spaghetti and both said it was amazing. Lastly we all split the black and white tiramisu and these fancy donut holes. Both desserts were amazing, especially the tiramisu…I had a lot of tiramisu while I was in Italy this summer and I have to say Vivace’s tiramisu is right up there with the tiramisu I had in Italy.

Do you have a favorite Italian restaurant in the area?
